Aug 05 18:20:25 mhall-xps redis-server[555286]: active defrag can't be enabled
without proper jemalloc support
I am in the process of debugging this more fully, but it appears that
part of the problem is caused by the difference between the USE_JEMALLOC
and USE_SYSTEM_JEMALLOC flags in the debian/rules and debian/patches for
the package.
When you run ldd on redis-server, it is linked against libjemalloc, but
it seems that the logic in the redis-server binary itself is not
detecting this because the ifdefs involved depend on USE_JEMALLOC being
set and the packaging code is not setting this flag. However, rebuilding
the package from the Ubuntu source with the flag set did not seem to
help.
The latest Debian source on Git is giving me some FTBFS issues, probably
user error because I am not that familiar with using the special Debian
package Git repos and some of the distro specific patches probably did
not get applied:
cc: error: ../deps/lua/src/lua_struct.o: No such file or directory
cc: error: ../deps/lua/src/lua_cmsgpack.o: No such file or directory
...
cc: error: ../deps/jemalloc/lib/libjemalloc.a: No such file or directory
Using the Debian source from the latest unstable tarball, 6.0.6, the
error received changes:
Aug 05 19:43:23 mhall-xps redis-server[595179]: Active defragmentation
cannot be enabled: it requires a Redis server compiled with a modified
Jemalloc like the one shipped by default with the Redis source
distribution
Reading the code some more from there, it appears that, when using the
system jemalloc, as the Redis package is trying to do, because the
system jemalloc does not define the symbol JEMALLOC_FRAG_HINT checked in
zmalloc.h to fully enable defrag support.
